Conor Benn tells Shakur Stevenson to pay for weight clause

If Benn gets his way and fights without weight restrictions on fight night, he carries a massive physical advantage. Besides just being the bigger man, Benn brings a level of aggression and power that Stevenson has yet to handle. While Lopez looked hesitant at times, Benn is the type of fighter who will eat a jab just to land a devastating corner. That relentless pressure could create a nightmare scenario for the New Jersey native.

Even if Stevenson falls short, he has a safety net. Moving up to a new weight class provides an easy explanation for a loss, allowing him to keep his star power intact while claiming he simply bit off more than he could chew.

Benn took to social media to keep up the heat and told Stevenson to be ready for a possible date at Wembley. He made it clear that while he is willing to drop back down to 147 pounds for the first time in three years, any additional restrictions on his size will come with a heavy price tag.

Conor is confident he has the tools to handle Shakur. The real issue is whether the fight can be made, given Stevenson’s demands for a rehydration clause. Benn has made too much money in his last two fights to be dictated to.

“Shakur, Wembley locked down. Get ready,” Conor Benn said social media.

“You want a rehydration clause? You gotta pay. I’ll still crush your a**. My first fight at 147 in three years and I’ll still give it to you,” Benn says.
